Situated at the top of a hill, St Paulinus Church occupies a commanding position and has a large churchyard. The tower dates from the 15th century. The churchyard is a 'living churchyard' which means it is infrequently mown and largely kept as a nature reserve, although it is still tidy. The churchyard and church together give the impression of the country churchyard that this once was. A large memorial garden has recently been opened to the north of the churchyard.
